I just realized I don't think I've even posted on this blog that we are trying to adopt a child from Uganda. Sorry if this is new news to you - we've actually been looking into it since last Christmas and things are moving along pretty well, all things considering. We've learned a lot about international adoption within these past six months and still have much to learn but we truly feel the call from God to adopt and are seeking to follow His will.

The girls just received their passports and we're excited to travel to Uganda together as a family when it's time to adopt our child. You can follow our story on our adoption blog here. We truly appreciate your prayers for guidance and discernment as we learn through this process and wait on God's timing - often times a hard lesson to learn ;-)

I just got back from a missions trip to Uganda and had an amazing time! Our team consisted of about 15 people and we had so much fun hanging out with kids living at Calo Me Lare, an orphanage that Project Hope Worldwide built. To see pics & videos of our trip, please visit my Uganda trip blog here.

Thanks for Stopping By!

This is a blog I kept up of our family from about 2008-2013. I always say "I don't scrapbook. I blog." It's fun to look back the fun memories we made. It's true when they say, "Don't blink because your kids grow up that fast!"

(I now keep a blog of our family on a page called, "Keep Calm and Love Big" although I don't write as much as I'd like to - just not enough time in the day! We also have an adoption blog where we post updates called "Arms Wide Open".)
